Hue In The City | Brands We Love | Wet N Wild Day 1

These are my utmost favorite lipstick shades from Wet N Wild. I reach for them year round {no matter the season} + for some I even have backups since a tube or two has been known to fall victim to the hands of my little ones! For some reason they love to watch all of the color smash into the top of the lids. So anyway in no particular order {okay lightest/darkest} these are my lipstick must-haves.

So yes my hand looks super awkward but I consider that to be totally normal since my three year old was sitting at my feet bouncing while I’m trying to hold perfectly still. Life’s little challenges!

I probably have the most fun with this peachy orange shade since I don’t wear it too often. Since shades like this can tend to look overapplied {for my personal taste + the look I’m usually going for} I use a small flat concealer brush to blend for a softer look that allows the bright color to stay fun + very much intended.

Smokin’ Hot Rose

This is another bright fun shade that I blend a little with my concealer brush. It reminds me of the Bubble Yum bubble gum I used to chew as a kid, so bright + bubbly!

I got slightly bored waiting for the sun to stop ducking behind the clouds so I started playing with some of the settings on my camera but you can still catch that big pop of pink on my lips!

Mauve Outta Here

So not a color that I would typically care for but I dared myself to try it out so here it is. This is my summer pink, you know the one you throw on when the only other makeup you’re wearing is face powder + mascara. It’s more of a pale pink but it goes so well with bronzed skin.

▼

Red Velvet

No such thing as a list of lipstick favorites without a token red lipstick thrown in there. Originally I bought this because I couldn’t get over the name, reminds me too much of red velvet cake, but I ended up loving it {after I finally started using it}.

▼

Mocha-licious

This is pretty much the best pinky/brown nude lipstick shade I’ve ever found under $3. This is my “unseen to be seen” shade because it goes so well with a smoky eye + played up lashes.

▼

▼

Sugar Plum Fairy

Super pretty shade of dark berries that I love wearing with floral prints. It reminds me of Spring for some reason. Not too dark but not too bright, something like the best of both worlds.

And again.

So in case you can’t already tell Wet N Wild is one of my favorite drugstore brand cosmetics. I probably own close to one of everything that they sell minus their foundations since they don’t carry my shade. Be sure to check out my day 2 post featuring more looks + products.

Hello

A Pennsylvania native, I moved to South Florida shortly after graduating high school and it kind of just stuck like very sticky glue. I met my husband couple of years later and we've resided in the Sunshine State since. We're both northerners at heart - he is from Toronto, Ontario - but I don't think we're quite prepared to deal with the freezing winters just yet. In 2015 we relocated to Central Florida and we're enjoying the pace of things so far - including some cooler weather. We have 3 terribly clever kiddos and about 20 fish, in a very large tank - because I'm not above saying we are not ready for anything that requires a leash or litter box!
I hope this blog inspires you to explore new places and things. Feel free to leave a comment or follow us on social media!
